Chapter 559： Last resort

Felix knocked on the basement door. Snape wore a black shirt that had never changed forever, with curly black hair attached to the back of his head. His motionless black eyes always reminded Felix that there was a cold wind in the courtyard that day. Grilled fish to eat.

The door opener silently stepped aside, revealing Professor Bubaki who was lying on the table. Her hair was tousled, like a pile of straw, and her wide glasses were pitchforks stuck in the hay. Professor Bubbaji is looking carefully at a flowerpot.

"Am I missing something?" Felix asked happily.

"You came just right, Felix." Professor Bubbaji said excitedly, still not removing his face from the flowerpot, "I told Severus, I must wait for you to come over to witness this scene."

"There is nothing to witness," Snape said.

He slammed the door shut, strode to the table, and took out a glass bottle from his jacket pocket. "Excuse me," he said coldly, and Professor Bubage hurriedly moved away, holding his breath as Snape carefully unscrewed the cork and dripped a drop of liquid in the pot.

A magical scene happened.

A small bag of brown soil in the flowerpot swelled up, revealing an insignificant touch of green. Under the silent gaze of the three of them, a few minutes later, a palm-sized green bud swayed gently in the flowerpot.

"This is" Felix asked.

"Rejuvenation potion, a magic potion that promotes the germination of plants." Snape said.

"Doesn't you need to add the rejuvenation potion? I remember that these two potions can be used in combination to restore most of the withered plants to health." Felix asked curiously.

"There is no need to waste," Snape said. "The seeds provided by Bubbaji are very nutritious."

"Can I take it back?" Professor Bubbaji said imploringly, and she looked at the seedlings in the pots eagerly.

"Oh, no." Felix said immediately, "We said yes."

He wants to take this pot of plants for testing, mainly to see the changes in nutrients in the soil and the growth of subsequent plants. Bubbaji knew this too, but was reluctant to bear it. Now she looked at Snape pitifully, "Severus"

"I only made up this potion." Snape snorted. "Use the simplest material according to someone's request."

Felix comforted Professor Bubbaji: "There is no need to worry, Keridi, there is no time. From the germination, growth, flowering, and fruiting of seeds, we only need to understand the first step for the time being, which is similar to the normal growth cycle. Than, at least half a month faster?" He asked Professor Bubagi.

"Yes, absolutely." She said vowedly.

"That's enough." Felix said: "Don't be inconspicuous. It is great to study this process thoroughly. It is worthy of a Merlin Medal."

Professor Bubbaji left with a blushing face, and now she wants to apply to President Dumbledore for a piece of land to build a test greenhouse.

"Sprout can definitely help, and she's happy to." Snape said dryly at the door, hoping she would bother herself less in the future. Turning his head, he found that the culprit was sitting leisurely on the sofa and flipping through the magazine.

"What did you think of, new hole cards?" he said sarcastically.

"I'm wondering, can the Avada Sorcery kill the bacteria in the water? Okay, I'm joking, forget about it." Felix said hurriedly when he saw the expression on Snape's face. "There is something to tell you that Mr. Scamander has found a way to make the snails reproduce stably. He said in the letter that the larvae of the snails are now flooding and asked if I need it."

Snape thought about it for a while.

"The mucus of the snail larvae is corrosive, but it can be treated well to remove the characteristics of specific potion materials. It is an excellent auxiliary ingredient."

"Then you'd better publish a few chapters to help promote it." Felix said.

Snape nodded, which was what he hoped. The office was quiet, Snape stared at the specimen jar on the shelf against the wall and said, "Someone told me that you have Laclau's crown in your hand."

"Dumbledore said?" Felix asked.

"It's not him." Snape said.

Felix frowned. Only Dumbledore knew about this. He never showed it to him, mainly because he felt too ashamed to use it secretly. It’s true that Wallen wore it for a while when he first studied, but Wallen didn’t know what it was. Other than that

"The people from the Ministry of Magic told you?" Felix said while pondering. "But even if the Ministry of Magic knows about this, few people know about it. Such important preparations will generally not be taken seriously unless someone Go for it deliberately, I understand."

Voldemort still reached into the Ministry of Magic.

"What is that?" Snape said softly, and he had always wanted to ask. "It can't simply be the relic of Rowena Laclau. Although it is said that her crown can increase people's wisdom, the Dark Lord pays more attention to the crown than the legend itself."

Felix fell silent. The less people knew the secret of Horcruxes, the better, but since Sirius knew that he was hesitant, the biggest worry was that Severus himself inferred that Harry was a half-horcrux secret. In fact, Sirius was also a hidden danger, but Sirius didn't know much about Horcruxes, especially that he could use living things to make Horcruxes, and Severus had a chance to know the existence of that snake.

"It has something to do with the secret of his immortality?" Snape asked in a low voice.

He carefully observed the expression on Felix's face, although he found nothing, but the moment of silence was enough for him to deduce part of the truth.

Snape didn't ask any more, but changed the subject and said: "The Dark Lord found out the news through the spy of the Ministry of Magic. He asked me to knock on the side, but I think it is better to ask you directly. I have enough trouble and I don't want to waste time."

Felix smiled, "This is indeed the most time-saving way. Maybe Voldemort will praise you for being efficient."

"I didn't plan to report right away," Snape said. "The Dark Lord took this matter very seriously, even exceeding his desire for the item in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. He revealed to me that he would find opportunities to arrange spies to cooperate with me. ."

"Come to school?" Felix thought it amused.

The plan was good, but with Snape there, it seemed a little ridiculous. He didn't pay much attention to it. If the spy is caught now, it is estimated that Snape's identity as an undercover agent will be exposed. Felix guessed that Dumbledore might be able to follow suit, waiting for the spy to throw himself into the net, and then see who will come. School now.

He was inexplicably expecting.

Voldemort had only one Horcrux next to him, and his sense of insecurity had reached the extreme, but he didn't know whether the golden cup was on himself or Bellatrix Lestrange. From all angles, Voldemort is not the only person entrusted with his wealth and life. So

Felix tried to simulate Voldemort's thoughts at the moment: What would he do if I were in Voldemort's situation?

First of all, the safety of the Horcrux must be confirmed.

I clearly know that there are three Horcruxes that have been destroyed, diary, snake, and ring; the Horcruxes of indeterminate state include the crown and the locket. The crown may be in school, well, I don't know it is on Felix Hep right now. And the locket "Where are you going to spend the Christmas holidays, Severus?" Felix raised his head and asked. Snape looked at him in amazement, and replied reluctantly for a while: "Go to the Order of the Phoenix to do something." Felix took his gaze back. Very well, I understand. So I suspect that the locket was stolen by the former servant. Regulus died more than ten years ago. If the Horcrux had not been destroyed, it would most likely be in the old Black house that he couldn't enter.

What else?

I also knew that I had some connection with Harry Potter in school. I had to use Occlumency to protect my brain for the past two months. Although I am frustrated, this is the best way right now because I am not sure if this connection will extend to other Horcruxes. Damn it, only half of it. prophecy! Damn Harry Potter! Now I must make sure that the only Horcrux is under my eyelids and cannot be separated from the golden cup unless there is a last resort.

Felix thinks hard, he will find out the reason now. He continued to think:

There are two other people of the same level in the wizarding world. If you get caught in a trap, you will be overwhelmed. So I must be careful, but I know that one of them will die soon. I just have to wait at ease, but I don’t mind him if necessary. It must be a wonderful feeling to send him a ride when he is weakest. The premise is that he holds the Horcrux that is vital to me

Felix suddenly understood.

Is this Dumbledore's plan? Use Horcrux to catch Voldemort? But this battle seems to have no place, it is a one-on-one situation between Dumbledore and Voldemort.

"What can I do?" Felix asked himself, "Yeah, it's too simple, I should have known it." He said happily.

Of course, I took the opportunity to get the last Horcrux.

This is the last resort reason. Voldemort and the Golden Cup Horcrux have to be separated. No one is so stupid to take another life to participate in a life and death duel, even if the opposite is a sick man, and the only person Voldemort can entrust is Berat. Rix Lestrange.

Snape stared at Felix who was talking to himself, ignorant of his complicated mental activities.

"Want to play a crackle blast, Severus?" Felix asked in a good mood. Valley

Of course the cards were not played.

Felix came out of the potions office, and there was a list of student clubs posted on the notice board in the hall, but that was three weeks ago.

It's almost Christmas in a blink of an eye.

Felix plans to go to Newt's house during his vacation to update his material library. At the same time, he is also preparing to travel around the world to take the opportunity to collect some rare magical animals. When he passed a huge armor in the corridor, he suddenly stopped and looked carefully, there seemed to be some magic hidden in it.

The helmet of the armor slowly lowered his head crunchingly, and looked at Felix.

Felix: ""

"Kang Dang, Dang Dang, Dang Dang, Dang Dang"

"Huh, huh, huh"

Felix stopped beating on the armor, turned his head and looked at the light-colored furious eyes of the administrator Filch, and asked a little embarrassingly: "Mr. Filch?"

"Professor Haipu, I thought" Filch murmured, "I was just chasing Pippy. He didn't know where he got a bubble gun. There were colorful bubbles on the ceiling. It is a new product of Joko, I must report it"

Felix waited silently for Filch to leave. "Kang-dang! Kang-dang!" He knocked twice, the armor finally seemed to be unable to stand it, and he opened the mask on the helmet and started to retching.

"By the way, Professor Haipu, I want to ask." Filch, who had gone away, came back again, with an embarrassed and flattering expression on his face, but was stunned when he saw Felix's movements. Si also had a headache, he just wanted to check this strange armor.

At this moment, the armor was holding his belly exaggeratedly, and he opened his mouth to spit out a red envelope, which slowly fell from the air under the gaze of the two.

"Oh." Felix said softly, and he recognized what it was. The yelling letter began to smoke and then burned. He stepped back and stretched out his hand to catch it, confining the sound to the area of ​​the hall. After a few seconds, the cheerful voice of the Weasley twins, which was amplified hundreds of times, rang:

"It doesn't matter if you are Peppy or Filch, or the kid who failed the exam or"

The voices of Fred and George alternated:

"You are great"

"Of course it's also mischievous"

"Adventurous"

"Get caught countless times"

"Indomitable"

"Teached not to change"

"Bad guy number one!" The voices began to converge here, and Filch's face went purple. The roaring letter continued to roll happily in the air, "Hurry up! We have provided you with plenty of help, provided that you and I have a clear heart!"

"Bang!" The roaring letter exploded into a ball of flames, and colorful fireworks flew out of it, and finally disappeared.

After an embarrassing silence.

Felix patted the ashes on his body. Although his teeth were itchy with hatred, he still pretended to ask calmly, "Mr. Filch, did you forget any tools?"

"Oh, uh, yes." Filch said vaguely, the loose flesh on his face shaking unnaturally. As Felix passed by, Felix heard him cursing the names of the Weasley twins.

Taking advantage of Filch's time towards the office, Felix also hurriedly slipped out of the castle. After stepping on the stone steps and breathing a few breaths of cold dry air, he relaxed.

Felix saw that Filch had something to say to him, and it might have even been a long time, but the timing was indeed a little delicate. Let's talk about it later if you have a chance. If he heard the news that the Weasley twins were imprisoned, he would surely remember what happened today.

Felix followed the steps all the way down. Seeing that Valen was having fun from a distance, he grinned, and then turned around, went through the greenhouse and vegetable field, and came to the edge of the forbidden forest. After several apparitions, he was already standing next to the cave where the giant Glop lived in the winter.

There was a loud "bang" sound inside, and small stones rolled down from the cracks in the rock above my head. Felix smelled a mixture of musty and straw.

"Glopp bites the lion" is deafening.

"Shut up! You idiot!" Hagrid yelled, "Go and brush your teeth."

There was another smashing sound, sounding like venting dissatisfaction.

"Ouch," Hagrid screamed and ran out, panting, his moleskin coat ripped apart.

"Are you all right, Hagrid?"

"Felix?" Hagrid said in surprise. He smiled and pulled the pebble away from his beard. "It's okay. Little Glop is playing around with me. He is making rapid progress, even if he loses his temper. Stop hitting people" His tone became low, "Although it is still possible to be injured by mistake."

"Are you showing him a movie?" Felix glanced into the cave, only a huge dirty foot could be seen from this angle.

"Yes," Hagrid said happily, "Little Glop likes small animals, just like me! I plan to wait until the time is right and take him to the Forbidden Forest to meet some friends. I don’t need to tie the rope anymore but I can’t now. I can only Show him the movie. He hasn’t seen a lion and is very curious about it. I plan to give him the book you gave me Felix was in a daze, remembering the first time he came home , The set of books he gave to Hagrid, with various Muggle animals painted on it.

At this time, there was another slamming sound from the cave, and Felix saw the big-footed girl "dongdong" knocking on the ground, like beating a drum.

"Don't make a noise! ​​I'm talking to Philip!" Hagrid roared toward the cave.

"Philip? Philiph Mihagel Siri Hari Rong amount" Glop growled inside.

Hagrid said helplessly: "His English is still substandard and very stubborn. He thinks Harry is better."

"Is there anything in school?" he asked gruffly.

"Oh, no. It's a private matter." Felix said, "I want to know the address of the giant tribe. Of course I know they have gone deep into the mountains. I mean, in which direction they ran." Seeing Hagrid wanted to speak, he quickly added.

"You don't want to deal with them," Hagrid muttered uncomfortably. "They are pretty miserable, not much left."

"I can't make it, but I think it is necessary to confirm their situation, knowing that they have disappeared from the wizard's sight for a long time."

Hagrid froze for a moment, "Well, I can only tell you the approximate location. Is there a map?"

"I collected a bunch"

When Felix reappeared, he had already reached the edge of the Black Lake.

Warren was skating on the ice. I don't know which student conjured a pair of skates for it. From the action alone, it skates much better than most Hogwarts students.

"Warren, one more!" a student shouted excitedly.

Varen happily took out his exclusive magic wand and waved it casually. A gust of wind rolled up the snowflakes on the ice, like a tumbling snow dragon. Varen rushed straight into the whirlwind. The little yellow hat and scarf were high in the snow. Flutter.
